Apple is no longer able to hide its interest in developing an "autopilot" for cars - on the roads of California, left three prototypes based on the Lexus production hybrid, equipped with specialized sensors. When Elon Musk was asked at a quarterly report conference whether he considered a promising opportunity for cooperation with Apple in this area, he objected that he had no reason to even assume that this company had such intentions.

With the help of a follow-up question, one of the experts tried to find out whether Tesla's head believes that Apple is a potential partner or competitor in this field. Ilon Mask also found it difficult to answer, saying that he did not know the nature of Apple's intentions in the car segment. There is still no clarity in this issue, he added.

Tesla will also refuse from the partnership with other companies in the field of production of the main tractors Tesla Semi. The bulk of the components required for the production of trucks, Tesla will manufacture by own strength and with the involvement of existing contractors. There is a wide unification with the components of the Tesla Model 3 - at least, the electric motors of these two such different vehicles will be common.
